Title says it all pretty much. I am planning for this to become my first EDH deck, and I'm going mostly for fun games versus just flat out winning (cough my asshole friend who plays stax cough).

In this deck, I'm looking for a balance between "arms dealer Zedruu", "asshole Zedruu", and a splash of chaos Zedruu. The goal of the deck is to donate arms and supplies to everyone to incite conflict (e.g. Howling Mine), "gifts" to piss people off (e.g. Steel Golem), and used weapons such as AK-47s clogged with sand that you scam people with for payoff (e.g. Banishing Light). There is also sometimes postal confusion that results in Scrambleverse and the occasional donated nuke such as Transcendence. Unfortunately, postage is very expensive here in red-white-blue 'Murica, and you have to pay every time you want to donate a present.

Although I probably don't own more than 150 cards (not counting the crappy commons I got from a draft), there are multiple cards in this deck that I already own, such as Felidar Sovereign and Aetherflux Reservoir, in case you are confused why they are in the deck.

Note: To my great sadness, I have not yet seen a primer/detailed description for this hilarious commander (edit: besides the amazing one for Mother Russia). Once I get more feedback and finish up this deck, I will begin writing one. :)
